Is my bully too big?

NikiStoianov · April 2016

Hello and greetings from Bulgaria,

Meet Atila - the black barbarian

I wanna ask you whether it is normal that Atila is so big. I am getting worried - am i raising a baby elephant or what

He is 4 months 3 weeks old. He weights 19 kg 200 gr and his height is 48 cm at the shoulders.
At 3 months he was 9 kg 700 gr

He does not look fat to me. He has little soft fat on his chest between the front legs, but not much. Nowhere else on his body.
But such weight at this age...

He gains about 1 kg per week. And his new teeth grow by the hour.
He was 2 months old when i got him. Back then the owner said it was the biggest puppy in the litter.
His joints and his paws were disproportionately big. They are big still compared to some bully photos i have seen on the net.

The mother is sandy brown - kinda small. The father is a big white bull type bully.
One of the sisters is 15-16kg atm and one brother is 14 kg but he looks abnormally thin.

I have been feeding him Taste of the Wild for puppies with Bison from the start. For dinner lately he eats what i eat - only healthier

Who told you he was fat???? He looks totally terrific to me... but then I am partial to stocky Bullies... to me if I wanted a skinny dog, I'd have got a Schnauzer! (or a poodle or something)

I was expecting to see a BIG Bullie when I clicked on the first photo link and to my surprise I revealed a cute little guy who is by no means fat or overweight one bit. He looks great and based on his bone structure you'll be seeing go through a lean stage until he reaches maturity. You may even be changing your discussion title to "How can I put on some weight to my Bullie?" LOL.

He's adorabull!
